Dear Editor

Because of my passion for this amazing free service, I am a dedicated supporter of Karlo Silbiger. Karlo initiated a meeting with our Friends’ co-president Andy Alexander and CCUSD Supt. David LaRose to include the Health Center information in the online registration packets for students/parents.

Karlo was instrumental in ensuring that teachers would make student referrals to the Health Center. As a teacher, Karlo knows the importance and opportunity teachers have to identify concerns of youth and get them immediate help.

Karlo also ensured that teachers would have professional development training to be able to connect students with the Health Center and supported a Health Center “booth” at the Open House/Back to School dates.

The more the staff is knowledgeable about the resources of the Health Center, which is on their campus, the more students will receive the assistance they may need.

I’m voting for Karlo Silbiger, who is dedicated to the CC Youth Health Center and its resources for youth.
